What is the chimney effect?

What will be an ideal response?


The chimney effect is the phenomena where hot gases rise vertically, due to
thermal expansion and a buoyancy of the gases. Chimneys and stacks are
designed to take advantage of the effect and create a flow of the gases without
outside, mechanical inputs.
